How come I can't feel my soul?

Question

I keep trying to figure out which parts of me aren't controlled by chemicals but I cant figure it out. Perhaps I read too many science books.

What does your soul feel like?

Answer 1

According to most religions, the soul is a gas like material that leaves your body when you die. if so, than I know what my soul feels like, since it leaves my body quite often, especially after I eat certain foods.

Answer 2

You haven't read the right books.
Try reading, "There is a River. The story of the life of Edgar Cayce."
It will give you some physical answers as well as the biological stuff plus it's a good read!!
Although the soul cannot be seen, it does exist.
So it is also with air.
Complex feelings too.
There are things we cannot see or explain.
They do exist.
Stretch the mind around it.
Broaden it with the book mentioned above and then return with another question.

Answer 3

In my opinion, your soul is your emotions. Love, hate, fear, anger, jealousy, laughter, sadness....all comes from your soul. Yes, I understand that these are results of different chemicals in your brain....but having a conscience, feelings of remorse...I believe go deeper than that. The man I am with I feel is my soulmate, and that is because I feel that something deep within us connected...and it is beyond explaination. Okay, i feel like I might start to ramble...I hope my opinion made sense.

Answer 4

Sorry this is so long but I could not bring myself to shorten it.
According to the bible you don't have a soul you ARE a soul. Genesis 2:7 tells us: “Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul.” Adam's existence was conditional, based on obedience to God’s law.if he broke that law, what then? Eternal life in the spirit realm? Not at all. Instead, he would “positively die.” (Genesis 2:17) "Dust you are and to dust you will return.” (Genesis 2:7; 3:19) 1 Corinthians 15:26, death is not a friend but is what the Bible calls it, an “enemy.” (1 Corinthians 15:26)  As the last enemy, death is to be brought to nothing. In the Hebrew Scriptures, the English word “soul” comes from the Hebrew word ne′phesh, which appears over 750 times. Its equivalent in the Greek Scriptures is psy·khe′, which appears over 100 times. The New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures consistently renders these words as “soul.” Other Bibles may use a variety of words. Some of the ways the King James Version translates ne′phesh are: appetite, beast, body, breath, creature, dead (body), desire, heart, life, man, mind, person, self, soul, thing. And it translates psy·khe′ as: heart, life, mind, soul. Clearly, the Bible’s use of ne′phesh and psy·khe′ shows that the soul is the person or, in the case of animals, the creature. It is not some immortal part of an individual. Even the New Catholic Encyclopedia acknowledges: “The Biblical words for soul usually mean total person.” It adds: “There is no dichotomy [division] of body and soul in the O[ld] T[estament]. . The term [psy·khe′] is the N[ew] T[estament] word corresponding with [ne′phesh]. . .  And Georges Auzou, French Catholic Professor of Sacred Scripture, writes in his book La Parole de Dieu (The Word of God): “The concept of ‘soul,’ meaning a purely spiritual, immaterial reality, separate from the ‘body,’ . . . does not exist in the Bible.” 20 When did this pagan philosophy infiltrate Christianity? The New Encyclopædia Britannica says: “From the middle of the 2nd century AD Christians who had some training in Greek philosophy began to feel the need to express their faith in its terms, both for their own intellectual satisfaction and in order to convert educated pagans. The philosophy that suited them best was Platonism.” So, as the Britannica says, “the early Christian philosophers adopted the Greek concept of the soul’s immortality.” Even Pope John Paul II acknowledged that the immortal-soul doctrine incorporates “theories of certain schools of Greek philosophy.” But accepting theories of Greek philosophy meant that Christendom had abandoned the simple truth expressed at Genesis 2:7: “Man came to be a living soul.” 23 Who was it that led humans to believe that lie? Jesus identified him when he said to the religious leaders of his day: “You are from your father the Devil, and you wish to do the desires of your father. . . . When he speaks the lie, he speaks according to his own disposition, because he is a liar and the father of the lie.” (John 8:44) Yes, it is Satan who developed the immortal-soul idea to turn people away from true worship. So one’s course of life and hope for the future are put on the wrong path by believing doctrines that grew out of the first lie recorded in the Bible, though at that time Eve no doubt understood the serpent to mean merely that she would not die at all in the flesh.
So with all the evidence you can see that the soul existing separately from the body is an untruth that has been in existence for a long period of time and has been truly instigated by Satan himself. There is nothing that can replace your own personal study of the bible because it itself states that we must worship with spirit and TRUTH. Hope this helps.
